Summary

This news is about the petition to end the liquor license cap in Carbondale. Carbondale retailers Schnucks, Kroger, Neighborhood Co-op Grocery and Arnold's Market decide to petition the council to permit grocery stores to sell beer and wine. If grocery stores want to sell beer or wine, the City Council has to vote to get rid of the cap on the city's number of Class C liquor licenses.

Issues

* If the City council permits to amend or remove the cap on the city's number of Class C liquor licenses, will that be a problem for university students especially?
* "For many people wine is part of the meal now, and they really do like to pick out the wine and food together," do you agree with this statement?

Opinion

From my point of view, there is no reason to oppose permitting selling alcohol at grocery stores, because people don't want to spend enough time buying the alcohol at allowed places. In addition, we might buy it cheaper than ever in Carbondale.
